This Day in Golf History: July 19

The PGA Championship moved its date to May in 2019, but it has actually been all around the calendar for much of its history. On this July date, in 1964, Bobby Nichols won the 46th playing at Columbus Country Club in Ohio. His nine-under 271 total beat a pair of heavyweights by three, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Nichols led from wire to wire.
